This is a sponsored review of Zazzle-a website that could be your one stop shop for gifts and craft projects: clothes, accessories, greeting cards as well as special occasional/seasonal favorites.
Fashion has always been a huge interest of mine and since early childhood, I have kept up-to-date with haute couture, and, of late, with printed fabrics. So here I am today, feeling extremely blessed for being a part of this mama-platform where I can recommend so many awesome products to our readers.

So what is new at Zazzle?

Zazzle is offering seven different types of fabrics and as per the statement on their site, “hopes to be an inspirational medium that allows designers to use creativity and fun in their creations”. Their personalized fabric prints include: laurel monogram patterns, nautical elements, kid friendly designs and even has something for newlyweds to insert their monogrammed wedding pictures .

The other big attraction for me in Zazzle fabrics was their combed cotton and natural linen which you can purchase by the swatch, quarter or yard. The price per yard starts at just $22.50 and several fabrics have gone on my to-buy-and-sew list. I especially loved their seasonal print fabrics having Halloween specials as well as the more recent Happy EASTER bunny prints. If you are looking for other specific fabrics for weddings, birthdays or any other happy events, you can choose their flamingo prints, leptomedusae/jellyfish or nautical themes like octopus, snails, sea horses, sailboats, starfish, or sailboats with anchors etc-perfect for beach weddings!

What to do with Zazzle Fabrics?

If you are wondering what you can do with these fabrics, worry not! The website has several simple DIY projects to craft-loving men and women and most require only the Zazzle fabrics apart from some inexpensive and readily available craft materials. You can even upholster furniture, or create apparel for yourself or your family members using online tutorials. Visit their website to learn more about Zazzle fabrics…

Spring break is almost here, and I have got travel on my mind. Here are some ways you can use to get the best hotel deals…

1. Beware of Online deals-They might not be the best always

Online Hotel deals are confusing, misleading and ever-changing. Even if you are getting what you deem is the best rate through an online travel portal, make sure you also directly talk to the hotel itself. Some hotels are known to offer a price match when you tell them you are getting one on the Internet. Naturally you must find out about surprise surcharges they might impose..

2. Find out amenities you are actually getting

Recently, we stayed at an apart-hotel that advertised a fitness room, laundry –and other amenities in their list. However, we later found out that their gym was only available at an extra charge, and that you could only use wi-fi with limited downloads. Also they had a parking cost of $35 extra per week. So, avoid such surprises and find out what you are actually getting for the price you are paying.

3. Check out the smaller resorts and BBs

Many BBs or mom and pop lodging facilities often do not participate in online hotel/travel portal programs. You could find that contacting such hotels directly and asking to speak to the manager/owner having authority to offer discounts often works a lot cheaper.

4. Choose apartment-hotels/studios for longer stays

When travelling with the family, consider staying in studios, homesteads or apartment-hotels where you can cook meals. This will help you save money on restaurant bills, and these units are often more comfortable than cramped hotel rooms.

5. Visit the coupons and deal sites

Many sites like Groupon, LivingSocial etc offer daily travel and hotel deals. Also be on the lookout for coupons which bed-n-breakfasts as well as hotels print through local newsletters that are generally available at rest-stops, or in restaurants/grocery stores on the freeway. Pick up such books when you visit these areas for your next stay.

6. Unconventional venues in the off-peak tourist season

Traveling without a hotel booking often works in your favor especially when you travel in the off-season months. This way, you get to see the hotel room and the amenities offered, before you book. Many mobile applications also show cheap and comfortable hotels when you are on the go. This also means selecting the road less traveled- selecting unconventional venues to vacation in the off season months (examples winters in North/Europe, summers in the tropics and beaches in fall). While this might sound uncomfortable –you are sure to save on hotels!

7. Do not forget the bidding sites

Many bidding sites let you see how much others are paying for the same room. Priceline and HotWire are some sites that are known to give hotels for literally peanuts!

8. Package deals often work

Airfare, hotel and rental car deals often work cheaper when booked in one go rather than booking them individually.

Easter Sunday is just round the corner. So, today, we will be making two delicious and easy Easter recipes that you can make with your children.

Easter Bunny Sweet Bread

2 packets of Fleischmann yeast

½ cup sugar

1 and ½ tsp salt

4 and 1/2c all purpose flour

6 tbsp butter (unsalted) or you could use margarine

2 large eggs, remove 1 egg white

8 Hershey’s kisses

1 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup flour. In another pan, heat some water and melt the butter in it (approximately 125 degrees).

With the mixer on low speed, beat the dry and wet mixtures and reserving one egg white, add in the yolk and the other entire egg. Add 1 cup flour and beat. After beating for 2 more minutes, add in 2 cups flour.

The dough should be workable now and can be turned over on a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough with greased hands until it is smooth and elastic. Knead for at least 5 minutes, adding some more flour that is remaining. Shape the flour into a spherical shape. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Grease two cookie sheets and divide the risen dough into 8 balls. Divide each of the eight balls into 2 halves. Roughly shape one part into a circular shape and add one Hershey’s kiss for the body. Place it on the cookie sheet.

Cut the other part into half. Shape it into a ball and brush with egg white. Place this on the cookie sheet in front of the previous dough ball, tucking the second half roughly to form the bunny. Brush the entire bunny with egg white. Make 3 more Easter bunnies.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Make 4 more bunnies with remaining dough.

Optional: Mix confectioner’s sugar with some color and make the bunnies’ faces.

Fruit and cheese bunny

For a healthier Easter snack, this fruit bunny is a great recipe to make with kids…

This adorable fruit and cheese bunny will be loved by kids and grownups alike. Use your creativity to make it. On a serving plate, assemble the circular cheese slices to make the bunny’s cheeks. Add two halved black grapes to make the eyes. Slice carrots thinly to make the whiskers. Vertically chop strawberries in half to make the bunny’s nose. The remaining strawberries can go in making the ears of the bunny that are formed using vertically sliced peaches. Slice celery vertically to make the line that runs from its nose to the bunny’s grinning mouth which can be made using a crescent shape formed with raisins. The picture below can help!

Good legible handwriting is a foundation that every child needs and uses in life. However; getting children to write neatly is a monumental task for some parents. Today, I will be sharing my two cents worth on how to get kids to write neatly…

Is your kid holding the pencil properly?

When I found my kid scribbling and struggling to write neatly, I decided to consult his school teacher. She was the one who suggested that I monitor how he was holding his pencil. In fact; it is of utmost importance that kids learn how to grasp the writing tools properly right from the very start. If your child has developed a bad habit of not holding the pencil properly, break this habit at the very start. Otherwise, things get difficult once they grow older.

Make use of alphabet writing practice books

There are many alphabets writing practice books that are wonderful for daily practice; using these you can get your kids to write daily. Such practice tools also help young kids understand how the letters sit and where they need to be curved or how much space there should be between their different elements.

Keep boredom at bay with some creativity

Sometimes, children can get bored tracing handwriting practice books over and over, especially on a daily basis. At such times, try to get them to trace shapes. If they love art, get them to hold color pencils or trace basic shapes like triangles, squares etc as well as human or animal figures. These are some creative tricks you can use for getting kids to write neatly.

Spellings and writing are two different things-keep them separate

If your child has been asked to write stories in school, s/he might have fantastic imagination and those ideas tend to flow out super fast. This could be one of the factors that are affecting his/her handwriting. In some cases, if you (or your child’s teacher) could write down your child’s ideas s/he will be more inspired to unleash the imagination on paper. At such times, it is important to keep these two things separate-do not ask the child to focus on handwriting at that point-that can come later. You can even overlook spelling mistakes as sometimes, lack of vocabulary could hinder with their writing neatly.

Little hands do get tired

Give you child frequent breaks to exercise their hands and fingers. You can focus on other things like literacy, or talk about adjectives or other grammatical elements in between breaks.

Use Story fill outs

Many activity books and practice worksheets have partially filled stories which you can ask your kid to fill out. This is a great way of getting them to write more.

Finally: remember that the key here is to not get frustrated-as hard as this might sound. Persevere. Reinforce. These are the two words that should be in your dictionary when teaching your child to write beautifully.

I was devastated to find my usually tick-free dog scratching furiously behind its ear. Closer inspection revealed an engorged tick-and needless to say that I was rather upset by this. After months of using prescription strength anti-tick/flea products, my research for something more natural led me to two wonderful remedies that really worked. Today, I am sharing these home remedies to repel ticks …

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is a must- have product in our home. I use it for everything: for sunburn, chapped lips, dry hands or elbows, and, these days particularly, for flea and tick control. When I find the weather getting warmer, I know it is time to spray my pets with coconut oil. I even feed it to them as it gives them a shinier and healthier coat. Here is how one can use coconut oil for repelling ticks:

Method 1: Warm up some coconut oil by rubbing a teaspoon of the solid mass in between your hands. Now starting from your pet’s neck, work your way down its spine and do not forget to liberally apply this miraculous product in your pet’s tummy area. Make sure you repeat this home remedy every few days. It is also okay if your pet licks the oil as it is completely safe and devoid of side effects. I like to use organic coconut oil for added purity.

Method 2: Heat up some coconut oil with some camphor pellets. Cool the mixture. Apply it on your pets’ coat.

Method 3: Mix equal quantities of melted coconut oil and water. Fill it up in a spray bottle. Spray the pet as well as its bedding to repel fleas and ticks.

Method 4: Mix some coconut oil with a few drops of essential oils like tea tree oil, lavender oil, or even eucalyptus oil. Apply this mixture on your pet’s collar to make an all natural tick and flea repellent. (You must not forget to re-apply the mixture on the collar every few days in the summer for added effectiveness).

Method 5: After bathing the pet, add some coconut oil to its final rinse of bathwater and pour all over the pet’s coat. Sure the coat will become greasy, but you are definitely going to get rid of the fleas and ticks.

Apple Cider Vinegar

ACV is another miraculous home remedy that can repel fleas and ticks. You can add this vinegar to your pet’s shampoo or use it as a final rinse after their monthly bath. Here are my favourite ways of using ACV:

Method 1: Mix ACV and baking soda. Rub it all over the pet’s coat. Your pet will smell great and will also be free of parasites.

Method 2: Add some diluted ACV to the pet’s drinking water. See how wonderfully its coat shines and how free of ticks and fleas it remains!

Other important tips to control ticks and fleas in your dog’s environment

Wash the pet’s bedding in hottest setting of the washer/dryer to kill eggs and larvae of parasites.

Make sure to vacuum regularly. You can sprinkle some Borax or diatomaceous earth on the carpets and rugs before vacuuming them, as these natural products help kills fleas and ticks.

Bathe the pet regularly using flea/tick shampoos or AVC, especially in summers.

Ticks are known to cause various diseases, primary among which is Lyme disease. This is known to cause debilitating (and long term symptoms) in pets and humans alike. So it is best to nip the tick and flea problem as soon as you sight it. If needed, get your pet examined by a vet. There are many effective prescription strength sprays, powders and pills that can help you repel ticks and fleas easily.

Given the toxins we are bombarded with on a day-to-day basis, I thought of making my own homemade cleaning recipes. I am sharing 7 of these ultra easy homemade non toxic cleaning recipes for different surfaces…

All Purpose Cleaning

Recipe 1

Use the following recipe to clean countertops, tables, furniture around the house, the bathroom area, sinks and even the kitchen appliances:

2 cups of distilled white vinegar

2 cups water

Any essential oil of choice-a few drops.

Combine all the ingredients and fill them in a spray bottle. Spray and wipe all the surfaces. In the bathroom, you can use the solution for cleaning mirrors, tubs and the area around the toilet. This will deodorize the room.

Recipe 2

Bonner’s Castille soap liquid-1 tsp

1 tsp Borax

2 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar

2 cups water

Essential oil of choice- I used a few drops of eucalyptus oil

¼ tsp lavender essential oil optional

Fill up these ingredients in an empty liquid soap bottle. Use it for washing dishes, countertops, dining table and related surfaces. You can also use Citrusy essential oils as they have a powerful degreasing action.

To open clogged drains

Recipe 1

Baking soda-1 cup

Salt-1 cup

Vinegar-1/2 cup

Pour all three ingredients down the drain (ensure that you remove excess water first). Let sit for 30 minutes, and then wash off with warm water.

Laundry

Laundry detergent recipe

Baking soda- ½ to 1 cup

Castile soap powder 1 -2 cups

¼ cup Borax powder

Mix the ingredients. You can also add ¼ cup of washing soda to the above. I like to make a large batch and use only ½ a cup per load of laundry. I also use the following homemade softener recipe:

Fabric softener recipe

½ cup of baking soda

1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder

A few drops of lavender essential oil

1 tbsp cornstarch

Tie the ingredients in a fabric and add to your dryer cycle. Replenish once the fragrance fades

Toilet Bowl Cleaning recipe

1 cup baking soda

1 cup vinegar

A few drops of tea tree oil

Pour in the toilet-let sit for a few minutes then brush and scrub as usual.

Furniture polish recipe

¼ cup of olive oil

¼ cup white vinegar

A few drops of lime essential oil or lemon juice

Take the ingredients in a cup. Dip a dry rag into this mixture. Wipe the wooden furniture with it. You can use an old toothbrush to cover tight corners of the furniture.

Each year, Americans throw away tonnes of food which could have been put to good use. This guide is all about making simple and tasty recipes from leftover foods like chicken and breads.

Leftover Bread

Bread gets stale quickly in the hot weather. Thankfully, stale bread also absorbs liquid quickly. I add stale read to almost everything: puddings, both savoury and sweet or simply use it for some French toast. I have also added it to make cutlets, vegetable burgers, and even savoury pancakes made using refined flour or semolina. Here is a simple mushroom pudding to put stale bread to good use:

Mushroom pudding from stale bread

1 packet of mushrooms-any variety

2 tbsp butter

1 onion chopped fine

2 cloves of garlic minced

I stick of celery

3 tsp chopped herbs of your choice(rosemary, parsley, cilantro etc)

¾ cup milk

¼ cup cream

2 eggs

5 slices of stale bread cut in cubes

1 tbsp mustard

Method: Preheat the oven and grease a rectangular bread pan.

To a large skillet add the butter and throw in the onions and garlic. Sauté mushrooms until liquid evaporates and the cook celery until soft, and remove in a pan.

Combine the mixture of mushrooms and vegetables with bread and mix. Add the seasonings and herbs. In a separate pan, add milk, eggs, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk. Pour the mixture over the pan containing mushrooms and vegetables. Ensure all the bread cubes are soaked in the custard. Bake this mixture for 20 minutes or until the top is crusty and golden brown. You can even add some cheese to the pudding prior to baking. Serve with a salad.

Leftover Chicken

I use the bones of leftover chicken to make stock, which I use for making broths, stews and soups or add it over my pets’ kibble. Here is a leftover chicken pie recipe your family will love:

300 to 400g of cooked leftover chicken

Leftover gravy (500 ml or less)

Sausages (also leftover)

600g mashed potatoes

2 leeks-washed and trimmed

1 can of baked beans

Pepper

Herbs seasoning

Method- Prep the cooked potatoes (unless they are also leftovers). Microwave the leeks in water until tender. Preheat the over-200 F. Chop the leftover chicken and sausages.

Place the chopped meat in an oven-proof dish. Cover it with half of the cooked leeks. Pour the gravy over this. Again add a layer of leeks. Add the beans from the can and spread to cover. Cover with a final layer of mashed potatoes. Bake thoroughly for 30 minutes until crusty and brown. Serve the pie with a salad, some more curry or green veggies.

The Oscars are done and over with and I simply had to blog about some of the most cringe-worthy moments that got the Twitterati abuzz..

No. 5: NPH in his briefs

Neil Patrick Harris has been great as a host for the Emmy’s but the critics did not like him too much during the 87th Academy awards show. Sure he has a good physique and all that, but we certainly did not need to see him in his briefs. He also insulted Dana Perry, right after she had dedicated her award to her late son, by commenting on her dress. The Twitterati exploded by saying that was rather ‘uncool’. I couldn’t agree more!

No. 4: Scar Jo’s strange hair cut

I believe that Scarlett Johansson is a great beauty, but this time, her hair cut made me cringe. She was even being compared to Adam Levine for having hair similar to his! Don’t get me wrong: she carried it with all the grace and beauty that only Scar Jo is capable of, but at the Oscars, it is certainly not the right occasion for a haircut like this…(unless she has done it for an upcoming movie role of course).

No.3 Travolta’s kiss and Scar’s reaction to it

Speaking of Scar Jo, I come to the next uncomfortable 2015 Oscar moment. Now-I used to be a huge fan of John Travolta but that went downhill after I read about all those allegations. While I know we need to take what we read online with a pinch of salt, this kiss (which he planted on an unaware and unsuspecting Scarlett Johansson) still left a lot of us cringing. It is even being compared to the (in)famous Dracula’s kiss…(see image below!) lol!

No.2. Jennifer Aniston’s awkward hug with Emma Stone

I love both America’s current sweetheart Jennifer and Emma Stone…but this hug was too awkward to say the least.

No. 1. John Travolta’s chin grab of Idina Menzel

Last year, Travolta could not pronounce/remember Idina’s name. This year, he grabbed her chin in an ultra creepy manner. I think this moment deserves to get the “creepiest 2015 Oscar moment” award!

This is not a paid review. This is my honest opinion about Super Citrimax® Garcinia Cambogia supplements which is a well known weight loss and dietary supplement that also has several health benefits.

Read on to learn more:

Super Citrimax® Garcinia Cambogia is available online here and here and currently they have many nice deals including BOGO free. (If you buy 2, you can also get 3 free) but it is best to try it out first.

Okay, so to those of you who haven’t heard of Garcinia Cambogia, it is a small fruit native to many South Asian countries. It is known by different names like Cambooge, Gambooge, tamarind etc. In these countries, it is primarily used for flavouring foods, curries and soups. Many native tribal people also used to eat it before going on their hunts to ward off hunger. People also drink the soups and curries made out of Garcinia cambogia fruit rinds to keep full in between meals.

The western world has now accepted this fruit as a miraculous weight loss product, and many celebrities including Dr. Mehemet Oz (who has his own talk show) have endorsed the pills made out of this fruit.

How Garcinia cambogia supplements work is by releasing HCA or hydrocitric acid. This ingredient supports sugar metabolism and can be used alongside diet and exercise to lose excess weight. Many men and women tend to find it hard to kick start their weight loss efforts and for them, the Garcinia supplements are a God send indeed. Additionally, the pills also have several health benefits for diabetics or those looking to improve their energy levels etc.

For the price I paid, I must say that I am very pleased with the results. I am yet to complete the first bottle and already I am being asked whether I am doing anything special! Even if you do not have to lose much weight, you can talk to your doctor whether this product is right for your other health goals.

Personally, I have researched several Garcinia Cambogia supplements on the market. Most are rather expensive; but this one really meets my expectations since it is total value for the money one is paying.

Garcinia is also great for people looking to balance their blood sugar levels. Apart from weight loss, Super Citrimax® Garcinia Cambogia also gives a boost to the immune system. Many people also continue using it after they have met their weight loss goals to manage their weight and overall health.

Bottom line: we are very pleased with Super Citrimax® Garcinia Cambogia supplements and recommend it to everyone looking to improve their health.
